What you get
Real diagnosis first
We test gas control, thermocouple, igniter, elements, thermostats and the T&P valve before quoting parts.
Repair-or-replace honesty
If a repair buys you six months on a twelve-year-old tank, we'll say that out loud.
Clear next steps
The diagnosed fault, parts availability and condition of the heater determine the repair scope and timing.

- Full system inspection including venting, connections and shutoff valves
